[opensuse] Eee-pc hotkey config app.
by Oddball 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Malcolm showed me an extremely nice app for eee-pc: http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/ I can feel some tension in this list towards this app, but cannot deny the nice look and usefullness of this app. Personaly i think this should be available also to KDE4 users. This app might even consider me to change desktopmanager... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Which package for 'Hotkeys' EEEPC?
by Oddball 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hi, I' just installed 11.2 on my 64GB SSD eeepc 900 series. All seems to work fine out of the box, except the Fn keys. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/SuSEee:/EeePC-Ext-Projects/… seems to be the most recent repo. Would it be allright to use the corresponding pkgs from there? tia, -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball, aka M9.

[opensuse] Firefox as VM/kiosk mode...
by Verner Kjærsgaard 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hi gurus and list :-) - I need to setup a quick & dirty openSUSE11.n to act as a kiosk computer only giving the user FF for browsing and nothing else. No desktop, nothing. Just FF. If one closes it, it should re-appear (if possible). Any quick hints, links, howtos? As always, thank you! -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Sound Question..
by James Hatridge 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hi all, I'm trying to get sound to work on my system. When I turn on Linux I get the start up music, but when I try to watch a movie with VLC I get this: #################### Audio output failed: The audio device "default" is already in use. Audio output failed: VLC could not open the ALSA device "default" (Device or resource busy). ###################### Any ideas what's wrong?

[opensuse] Sound system frustrations in 11.2 and KDE4
by C 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

I'm having some real frustrations with getting sound working right on a computer I support. This is a Acer laptop running: 11.2, KDE4.4.3 Factory, a Logitech Wireless USB headset. The owner wants all sound to be routed through the headset only - this is all sounds, system sounds, audio from Firefox, Skype, Ekiga etc. What I did to achieve this - I installed 11.2, then useing YaST, deleted the autodetected onboard sound card and "configured" the USB headset to be the only/primary sound device. Initially, this seems to work. Audio from Firefox for example is routed through the headset as this use wants. Skype is also playing nice with this config, and uses the USB headset. It's falling down though when Ekiga is brought into the mix. It's complaining that the output audio device is busy and the user cannot hear any sound. Nothing we do seems to sort this out. Ekiga cannot open the audio output device.. which is according to Ekiga the USB Headset. We've tried making sure all apps that use audio are closed down.. so Amarok, Firefox, Skype etc. Then doing a clean start of Ekiga.. still the same error... we've rebooted... nothing seems to let Ekiga open the audio output device. Anyone here run across this? Any suggestions? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why IPv6 only on one NIC
by James Knott 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

My firewall has three ethernet cards in it. However, I've noticed only one has IPv6 addresses. The other two don't even have a link-local IPv6 address. IPv6 is enabled in Yast Network Settings and I don't see anything that specifies it for the various NICs. Why is this? How can I enable IPv6 on the other two NICs? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: BASH - better way to get total number of files matching glob??

Tip: *Always* write [ -f "${array[$i]}" ]. Never leave off the double quotes, even if you think you know that the array element's value will not have white space. Make that a habit, and you'll write better shell scripts: Always use double quotes around shell variable expansions and single quotes around literal strings. 75% of all quoting errors will be gone.

And if $path or $glob contain white space, your 2nd command won't work at all.
